Fisherman's Father's Day - Kitchen Sink Stamps

Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored design is a Father's Day card for any avid fisherman. Luckily, I know a few! I used to tell one of them all the time, "I don't need a boat. I have a friend with a boat!" I have many fond memories of fishing on the lake with his family. Good times! 

This slimline design was created using the following KSS stamp sets:

Fisherman's Hat & Tackle

Fishing Creel & Reel

Fishing 4 Bass

Lighthouse

The slimline die frame is by Momenta

The designer paper is by Bo Bunny.

I have entered this card in the following challenges:

Flip Flap Interactive Card

I have been busy working on some samples for some new Kitchen Sink Stamps sets coming out in the next few weeks, so I didn't get today's card designed until TODAY! I hate when that happens, but sometimes it does!

And when it does, I usually check in at Splitcoaststampers to see what kind of challenges they have posted for the day. The Clean and Simple Challenge was to create a card with candles. That didn't appeal to me so I moved on to the Try a New Technique Challenge. Sabrina Friel, the hostess for this challenge, asked participants to create a Flip Flap Card. Well, I don't usually go in for fancy folds as they require too much precision and fiddling around to get them to work properly. After reading the SCS tutorial by Beth Rush and watching her YouTube video twice, I decided to give it a go.

So here are two views of today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card:

A Fisherman's Anniversary - KSS

While at the CKC Scrapbook Convention in the Woodlands recently, was able to add this  new Photo Collage Pop-up die set by Karen Burniston to my collection.

Today I decided to pull it out and try it for the first time with my Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored Fisherman's Anniversary Card. There is a learning curve to using this die set, but for my first attempt, I am pretty happy! I know I will get better and faster (it took me 2 and 1/2 hours to stamp and make this card today) with repeated use, because Karen's tutorial is very clear. You can watch it below to see how the card goes together.



Here is the front of my card:

Summer Pleasures - Kitchen Sink Stamps

This clean and simple one layer card, sponsored by Kitchen Sink Stamps, was created using images from two of the newest KSS releases - Fishing Creel & Reel Multi Step Clear Stamps and Fisherman's Hat and Tackle Multi Step Clear Stamps. The sentiment is a part of the Berries Multi Step Clear Stamps set.

This card was stamped directly on the cardfront with the fisherman's hat being stamped first.

After the hat was completed, I masked it and stamped the creel. I added a mask for the creel before completing the card. 

To finish the card, I added the fly, the float, the grass, and the sentiment before removing the masks.

The responses I received about my new visual color recipes were all positive so I plan to continue adding them to my posts. They are very helpful to me, as well as my readers, for future reference.  The color recipes I have posted below are the ones I used to complete this design.

Fisherman's Hat

Fishing Creel

Fishing Fly

Fishing Float

The grass was brushed on with SU Certainly Celery and the sentiment was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black.
